This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines. This section explains how to clean the print head using the Head Cleaning Utility. You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink button on the printer for three seconds. (This only works when the red H ink light is off.) Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, print quality can decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. Running the Head Cleaning Utility 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you need to replace a cartridge; see page 33 for details.) 2. Do one of the following: ■ Windows: Right-click the icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Head Cleaning. ■ Macintosh: Open the Applications folder and select EPSON Printer Utility. Select SP R220 Series in the printer list, click OK, then select Head Cleaning. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. Cleaning takes about 45 seconds. The printer makes noise and the green P power light flashes. Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes. R220.book Page 32 Sunday, August 7, 2005 3:41 PM 4. When the green P power light stops flashing, make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then do one of the following: ■ Windows: Click Print nozzle check pattern, then click Print. ■ Macintosh: Click Confirmation, then click Next. The nozzle check pattern prints. 5. If the nozzle check pattern has no white lines or gaps (as shown below), click Finish. If the pattern has white lines or gaps (as shown below), click Clean to clean the print head again. If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, refer to “Problems and Solutions” on page 46. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again. 32 Maintaining Your Printer R220.book Page 33 Sunday, August 7, 2005 3:41 PM Replacing an Ink Cartridge When the red H ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink. When the red H ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s). Ink button and light When you print, you’ll also see a message on your screen telling you which cartridge is low or empty. When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best.

Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off. ■ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement. ■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. ■ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating. ■ Keep your printer and computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units. ■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust. ■ Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. ■ Do not place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight. ■ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. ■ Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the printer. ■ Always turn the printer off using the P power button. It may take a moment for the printer to shut off after you press the button. Don’t switch off the power strip or unplug the printer until the printer is off. ■ Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s case or insert objects through the slots. ■ Except as specifically explained in this manual, do not attempt to service the printer yourself. 58 Requirements and Notices R220.book Page 59 Sunday, August 7, 2005 3:41 PM ■ Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the printer has been dropped or the case damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions ■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t drink the ink. ■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. ■ Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing. ■ Do not move the print head by hand. You may damage the printer. ■ Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use can result in reduced print quality. ■ Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them. ■ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. ■ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it. ■ Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage. ■ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head. ■ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing. ■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area. ■ Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and the ink cartridges are in place. Tape the ink cartridge holder to the printer case to make sure it remains in the proper position.
